Noble High School 1,500-student high school Participates in Coalition of Essential Schools, nationwide
organization whose members adhere to a set of principles that encourages innovation in teaching.
District using project-based interdisciplinary approach, where teams consisting of math, science, English and social studies teachers work with learning communities of no more than 100 students.
All classes are heterogenous because there is no tracking, and traditional department structures have been dissolved.
Democratic processes, a collaborative environment, and standards-based curricula are central.
Design shaped to fit collaborative learning and to create smaller, more personal, less anonymous environment.
Fifteen different “schools within a school”. Each learning community includes large multipurpose room.
